Is it me??

Maybe I'm old fashioned but Mia and Maz have a favorite CD they like to have in the car when we are driving. The first song, I'm a Little Teapot, is very familiar to me-but the second song is one of the oddest childrens songs I've ever heard. I found myself singing along to the catchy tune but the words are a little much to take in. Whatever happended to the songs with a happy ending. I mean, Heaven didn't even want this dead person!

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

Cracked it open, cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now,
Just now I cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now.

It was rotten, it was rotten,
It was rotten just now,
Just now it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.

Ate it anyway, ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now,
Just now I ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now.

Got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now,
Just now I got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now.

Called the doctor, called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now,
Just now I called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now.

Penicillin, Penicillin,
Penicillin just now,
Just now I took Penicillin,
Penicillin just now.

Operation, operation,
Operation just now,
Just now an operation,
An operation just now.

Died anyway, died anyway,
Died anyway just now,
Just now I died anyway,
Died anyway just now.

Went to heaven, went to heaven,
Went to heaven just now,
Just now I went to heaven,
Went to heaven just now.

Wouldn't take me, wouldn't take me,
Wouldn't take me just now,
Just now Heaven wouldn't take me,
Wouldn't take me just now.

Went the other way, went the other way,
Went the other way just now,
Just now I went the other way,
Went the other way just now.

Didn't want me, didn't want me,
Didn't want me just now,
Just now they didn't want me,
Didn't want me just now.

Was a dream, was a dream,
Was a dream just now,
Just now it was a dream,
Was a dream, just now.

Then I woke up, then I woke up,
Then I woke up just now,
Just now I woke up,
I woke up just now.

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

Mazlin is a giver

Mia's story time about the big bad guy (I think)

Maz + Mia

 

Happy colored egg day

 

Mazlin's first snow experience

Leave it to the sisters

I realize more and more how not so different my sisters are to me. I mean, I am the only liberal vegetarian in the family and Dennis is the only brother-in-law that wears capri's...but all of that aside they know me like no other. The history we have makes the laughs a little louder and the silence a little more unbearable. I don't go more than a couple of days (usually) without checking in with one of them. I can't get much past them and they definitely call me on things within a second. They really are the funniest women I know (with the exception of a couple of extremely funny friends)

Okay sisters, so maybe I am having a hard time separating from Mia (2 dance classes and 3 school tries later--thanks for reminding me)

It was so easy when she was little and couldn't tell me how much she didn't want to go. I know. I know. I'm working on it. And yes, I am prepared for her to live with me for the rest of her life. In my estimation that will only be 10 more years before I hit retirement and she hits double digits.

Mazlin's way of dancing

I know the video is dark but this is a snapshot into how hilarious Mazlin is. She is either so extremely shy that she squints her eyes shut when someone is looking at her or she talks nonstop.

The best pictures

 

Cooking with Mia

 

Oh, Jameson, This wind is ruining my hair do!

 

A BEAUTIFUL day in the Lou'

 

We are expecting 6 inches of snow tomorrow. Yesterday was an amazingly beautiful day that made you want to go home throw the windows up and get out the Pinesol and bleach (well, maybe not everyone)but it is my way of celebrating!

Mia and Dennis hit the park with Mia's uncle Pat, aunt Kathy and cousin Jameson. Mia and Jameson play so well together. He was such a little gentleman--he gave her his hat to keep her hair out of her eyes.

Mazlin and I took a little nap. I didn't want her to feel bad so I was compelled to join in :)

I was tired after all that cleaning.
